LION E-Mobility AG (LION; ISIN: CH0560888270), a leading manufacturer of battery packs for electric mobility and energy storage solutions, announced preliminary results for the 2025 financial year, showing a significant turnaround. Total revenue reached EUR 28.3 million, a 68% increase from EUR 16.9 million in 2024. EBITDA improved to EUR 7.5 million from a loss of EUR 3.6 million in the prior year, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 26.4%. Net profit also swung to EUR 3.0 million from a loss of EUR 6.6 million.
Growth was primarily fueled by a strong recovery in market demand for batteries, particularly from bus manufacturers. The company also benefited from favorable procurement conditions and consistent cost and efficiency measures. Operating cash flow improved dramatically to EUR 7.7 million from EUR -6.5 million, underscoring the sustainable turnaround.
Dr. Joachim Damasky, CEO of LION E-Mobility AG, commented: "We are very pleased with our strong and significant progress achieved throughout 2025. The substantial increase in revenue and the marked improvement in EBITDA reflect the recovery in market demand as well as the strength of our product portfolio and execution capabilities."
LION continues to expand its Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) pipeline, with steady progress in Italy following the successful sale of its first project. The company has also strengthened its BESS sales team in response to market demand. In the mobile segment, LION has successfully delivered its new NMC+ battery pack prototypes to customers, confirming market readiness. With a gravimetric energy density of 53 kWh, the NMC+ pack establishes a new technological pillar for the company's portfolio.
Looking ahead to 2026, LION expects revenue above EUR 35 million and another strongly positive EBITDA. However, production will be temporarily impacted by a planned two-month factory shutdown in Q2 for conversion works, with operations resuming at the end of June. The new production lines will focus on high-performance NMC+ battery cells, shifting a significant portion of 2026 revenues to the second half of the year. Increasing demand in the BESS and defense sectors provides additional growth opportunities. LION is currently working on several defense-related inquiries, including a collaboration with Mandrill Engineering, where LION Smart’s battery technology powers an advanced unmanned ground vehicle.
